Since this map showed up on Facebook telling us there were tons of birds coming through today, we decided to head to South Padre Island again. Unfortunately, a doctor's appointment this morning prevented us from getting there early.
Get your binoculars and get outside today! An estimated 305 million birds are migrating tonight, and the next few days are forecasted to be great for seeing birds as well.
There must have been some type of law enforcement meeting going on as most of the parking places in the lot were filled with law enforcement vehicles of all sorts.
We have a better picture of the guys scouting out the small bird that we we also aiming at.
